The USCHO.com Division I poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine were in a different state of mind when deciding where the University of New Hampshire and Dartmouth College men's ice hockey teams stood in this week's rankings.
The Wildcats (16-7-2) fell one spot to No. 4 overall in the USCHO.com Division I poll, one position ahead of defending national champion Boston College (15-7-2). Dartmouth College (11-8-3) remained in the top 20, dropping one spot to No. 17.
It's a different picture in the USA Today poll where Boston College is ranked No. 4 ahead of the Wildcats at No. 5. Dartmouth College fell out of the top 15 poll entirely. The Big Green were ranked No. 13 last week.
Both major polls have the University of Minnesota ranked No.1, Quinnipiac No. 2 and Miami at No. 3.
Over the weekend, UNH beat Northeastern on the road 3-1 on Friday, but dropped a 4-1 home decision to Merrimack. Dartmouth's road trek over the weekend produced one point, a 2-2 tie with Union before bowing to RPI, 3-0, on Saturday.
Five points separate top-ranked Boston College (12-6-1, 25 points) in Hockey East from fifth-place Providence with 20 points. UNH is second with 23 points followed by Merrimack (22) and Boston U. (21).
